    While couples can usually find some cost savings by splitting mortgage or rent costs, there is no such discount for single people

    Hilarious that the author hasn’t heard of roomates

        Is this a common sentiment? I had roommates until I was 27 and to me it was the normal way for young, single people to live. I never thought of my roommates as a burden or considered living without them a high priority. Even when I could have gotten my own studio apartment, I preferred to split a much nicer apartment with a couple other people.

          That’s a valid tradeoff so long as that crappy studio is actually affordable. When even the studio is north of $2k/month, though…

      Or OnlyFans!

      Clearly people need to do things other than live on their regular wages or the author didn’t think of it!
